Advantages: Versatile, cheap

Disadvantages: Not great on greasy skin

This is yet another baby product that I use, even though I don't have children!

The packaging for this is miminal, but quite good to look at. I like the clear bottle and the simple colours. It actually doesn't look or feel that out of place in a bathroom otherwise full of Space NK stuff!

The smell is absolutely gorgeous - it's worth paying a bit extra for the aloe vera and vitamin E version, particularly as the product is so cheap in comparison to other moisturisers and make-up removers.

The thing I love about the product itself is that it's versatile:

* It works fantastically as a moisturiser. I use it on my legs, and it leaves them lovely and shiny for an entire day. You do need to be prepared to massage it in a little more than more expensive creams, but this is good for your skin anyway! Be stingy with it if you have greasy skin, though!

* It's a great make-up remover. I wear waterproof mascara which is a nightmare to get off. Traditional cleansers often leave my eyes feeling stingy and red as I have to use quite a lot of product to remove my thick, black lashes! Put a tiny bit of this on cotton wool, and gently rub it over your eyes and the makeup glides off. I don't need to really work to get it off, risking damaging the sensitive under-eye skin, and I don't have to use additional eye cream because the moisturising aspect of the product keeps the crow's feet at bay!

* I add it to a bath, to soften up the water and make it deliciously moisturising. The only downside is that you do need to give the bath a wipe with flash afterwards!

* I use it as hair treatment, rubbing it into my ends the night before I change the bed. When my hair is washed, it's lovely, supple and shiny. I think it also protects me against some split ends!

Overall, I don't know what I'd do without a bottle of this in my bathroom cabinet - it has so many uses!

Summary: A bathroom staple.
